It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Page #2

- Culpeper's going to scream.

- Yeah.

- We better get our story straight if...

- What story?

He woke up as usual.

He started driving his car.

He stopped for breakfast.

He went to the gents' room,

climbed out the back window.

So what? Even Culpeper can't say

we should've been in there with him.

What got me is the way

he went sailing out there.

If I have to climb much more,

I'll be laying there with him.

Poor soul.

Uh...

Melville, what happened?

We couldn't do anything for him.

Nothing we could do. Come on.

Well?

Uh...

- It was a terrible thing.

- Russell, I feel sick.

Take it easy. These things happen.

What kind of attitude is that,

"these things happen"?

They only happen because this country

is full of people...

...who, when things happen,

just say, "These things happen."

- And that's why they happen!

- Let's try not to get upset.

Come on.

We got to have control

of what happens to us.

If we left it up to you,

we'd never hear the last of it.

You're right.

Do you know what those half-wit

morons up in Sacramento do about it?

They just sit there with their big feet

up on their big desk...

...milking 15 million people of...

- Listen, I want to say something.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but I've got to say something.

- What are you looking at?

- I'm watching something.

Benjy, turn around, sit still.

- Play it straight.

- They're not kiddin'. They went for it.

Yeah? What are you going to do now?

I want you to tell me everything

that man told you, word for word.

Don't leave out anything.

But do you think he really meant it?

Monica, I don't know about anybody else,

but some of them believed it.

Like those two back there.

Don't look over there!

I know where it is. It's under a big W.

That's what he said.

Like a windmill or a waterfall

or something.

I hope it's not under a waterfall.

Think of something that starts with a W.

Wealth. Which.

Let's see. Where.

Work. That's it.

I got to work on where it is.

One thing Dr. Carroll said was Russell

was to have no undue excitement...

...for at least two weeks

because of his condition.

- But...

- That's why we came on this trip...

...so Russell could relax.

You should have told the police.

You keep saying that.

What's the police got to do with it?

I think the police were chasing him.

They drove up so fast.

Why shouldn't they've been chasing him?

He was speeding.

I'm only thinking

of Russell's condition.

You mean his financial condition.

That's the only condition he has.

Do you know why your husband

had a nervous breakdown?

It's because he has sunk $40,000,

including $15,000 of my money...

...into a company that makes

seaweed for people to eat.
